Interactive Learning Platform for Everything on Infectious Diseases

We know that teaching and learning about infectious diseases can be challenging. That‘s why we created an interactive, easy-to-use teaching tool that is highly appreciated by both teachers and students. GIDEON makes it easy to bring your classes to life. In an instant, you can run differential diagnosis, multiple simulations to identify pathogens, or trace outbreaks through history. Plan your curriculum faster with custom graphs, dichotomous keys, and a comprehensive list of references for the A-Z of infectious diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions

We aim to make your work as simple and accessible as possible. Find answers to common questions about our platform below.

How often is GIDEON updated?

GIDEON is updated every day by a team of highly regarded medical scientists.

GIDEON is a massive infectious disease database, with outbreak records going back to 1348 AD. Here are several ways to get an overview of its content:

1. Explore our content by numbers

2. Check out the latest updates made to the database

3. Review the global outbreaks map for this year

4. Visit GIDEON A-Z

What time span does GIDEON cover?

GIDEON data goes back to 1348 AD
Most diseases are covered from the 1920s.

There are smallpox graphs that start in the 1880s to 1890s (Egypt and Japan), and outbreaks are covered from as early as 1348 (plague).

Other diseases with a broad historical coverage include anthrax (1770), botulism (1793), cholera (1832), and dengue (1850).

Is GIDEON an evidence-based medicine (EBM) database?

Yes, all sources are peer-reviewed and backed by scientific evidence – most are considered the premier scientific sources. Uncontrolled, or poorly-analyzed studies will not appear in these publications. This also holds for websites used in maintaining GIDEON. Virtually all are governmental sites. Reputable computer lists in the field are used, in a manner that fits the standards of evidence-based medicine.

For example, although ProMED is considered THE site for new and ongoing outbreaks, many of its own sources consist of newspapers and news agencies. Therefore we cite ProMED in circumstances where this is the only information source for a given outbreak (often in underdeveloped and remote; new information sources which become available will also be included.
In-text references in GIDEON further support GIDEON as an Evidence-Based Medicine database by allowing the user to view all source information, and to reach their own conclusions regarding the credibility of those sources if needed.
